waco 1,026 Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) Well Kent got a great draw at Newcastle so you would expect them to win at home,,but speedway is an unpredictable sport at times..I know Ben Morley blew his best engine at Edinborough,,that may effect his scoring power on tuesday having been on top form last week at home,,, but we have Dan Gilks and Jake Mudford back and they are proving a solid young reserve paring ,,With Cameron Heeps improving each week as his shoulder gets stronger and our big guns consistantly dominating i feel confident we will get the desired result ..Another exciting meeting is on the cards ,,so dont miss it ...!!

Last I heard was Tom was guesting both tonight (Tuesday) at Kent and tomorrow (Wednesday) at Poole. I haven't seen that had changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hawks 1975 69 Posted August 24, 2021 Still no preview of the match on the Kent site - is that because Newcastle will arrive largely with a side that could have ridden against Kent two seasons ago in the NDL?! With the visitors fielding pretty much just the one heat leader, me thinks the Kings management will be paying out a shed load after a record win? I'll still be there for my weekly speedway fix, hoping the away team make some gates, but the likely unevenness of the contest does speedway no favours. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cityrebel 2,960 Posted August 24, 2021 Farcical scenes at Kent tonight. The track looked rough before the start and clearly the riders were unhappy with it. At one stage i thought the meeting was going to be called off. The final straw was letting the kids go out on a tricky surface, which resulted in a tumble for one of the youngsters. A poor advert for the sport, which would have put off any first timers. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
